Bug #2434: BTX Halted - Boot fails on USB/GUI

This is the first time I ever try Dragonfly BSD. I tried the USB/GUI image 
(dfly-i386-gui-3.0.3_REL.img) on my notebook, and it fails with this message: 
"BTX Halted." No other explanation is given, but Google tells me it's a 
long-known issue on FreeBSD.

Some googling says that it's possible to work around the issue with a boot 
loader called Plop. I tried it, and still had no success.

FreeBSD 9.0 and 8.0 boot fine on this notebook. So does NetBSD 5.0.

Then I tried the USB, no GUI image (dfly-i386-3.0.3_REL.img) and it worked! Go 
figure.

Finally, I tried "burning," erm... writing the USB/GUI image to the USB stick 
once again, and still get the same error. So something is different between the 
two images. USB no GUI works, USB/GUI doesn't.
